Easter 2011

So after a little trouble planning we managed to have a easter egg hunt. we had it at my mom's house which used to be my grandma's house so that was special in it's self. Everyone was able to come and so it turned out to be great. my mom and ashley hid eggs in the front yard for the two youngest (Dylan & Kilee) and then the rest in the backyard for the older kids. All the kids had a great time and ended up with lots of eggs. here are some pictures I took of the day.

Dylan Lee Turns 5

So 5 years ago on April 12, 2006 Dylan Lee Ashcraft came into the world. He weighed 9lbs 9ozs just like I did when I was born. He had a little blond hair. He was my first baby to be born in the afternoon. Dylan was born at 1:55 p.m. Dylan enjoys reading books, doing puzzles and watching shows, backyardigans, LeapFrog, Dora, Diego and Blue's Clue's. He started Preschool in October 2010 and it was a rough start for him but he has gotton so far now, he knows how to write his name, he knows his alphabet, his numbers, shapes and much more. Sam and I made up this book for him, it had his name, his family (mom, dad, sister, brother, cat etc...) and his phone number and his hair color and eye color and he had that book learned in 1 day! He is so smart but he is on the shy side. Hopefully with time he will not be so shy but that is part of what makes him Dylan. I love him and he will always be my Buddy Boo!

Dylan writes his name

Dylan's Favorite Thing To Do

So the story starts with Dylan's brother Tyler. Tyler got an Ipod touch with his christmas money and birthday money. Tyler later started to put music on it. I should tell you that Dylan has loved listening to music for quite a while now but he would just listen on a regular radio but that wasn't working very well because he would play the cd's so much that they would start messing up ( skipping etc..) but when Tyler got his Ipod Dylan started wanting to take it and he would just start the music and listen to it because he realized that it would never mess up on him. I knew right away that I had to find something for Dylan similar to the Ipod because no way was I buying an Ipod touch for a 4 year old so I went and searched on google (thank you google) and found this music player from fisher price at amazon.com (thanks amazon.com), ya you think fisher price (baby toy) but no, it's built for 4 to 7 year olds and it's tough, the music sounds great and you just download the music right from your computer! no cd's nessesary! problem solved. I was a little nervous that Dylan wouldn't like it because it doesn't look exactly like an Ipod touch but he took to it like a kid seeing candy for the first time. He loves it!

Kyle makes a shot!

Kyle won his game today 15 to 1 and he made 2 shots, 1 that I got on video. he also made many assists too. he is becoming a great BB player.

My Nephew Easton Jax (EJ)

Easton Jax was born January 2, 2011. he weighed 7lbs 14 ounces and 20 inches long with some hair on his head. he is also going by the name EJ.

Tyler's 9th Birthday

so we had a party on the 19th with family. we had pizza which was tyler's choice and then we had cake. he ended up getting almost 100 dollars in cash for his birthday. He was a VERY happy kid. Then on his actual birthday December 20th, I took him to see harry potter 7 and then went and ate at chili's which was his choice but I am not complaining.

Kyle's 11th Birthday

so we finally have a house so we finally got to throw a normal birthday party! In the past I just took the boys out to a movie, lunch and to the store. They never complained and I really enjoyed it. This year I threw a party for kyle with just the family surrounding us. We had pizza which was kyle's choice and then we had cake (I was lucky to have found a football cake) Kyle right now is into football. He got a couple gift cards totaling 45 dollars and then he got some more money but in cash. I got him a kyle busch football jersey and he also got a Utes sweater which he was dying to have. He also got a game, some candy and some magnetic things. He ended up buying 2 football games for the playstation 2 with his gift card money and cash. He is a very happy 11 year old. A cool little fact is that his birthday this year landed on a sunday which happens to be the day he was born on 11 years ago yesterday. 11-14-99

Alex Glenn Ashcraft

My cute nephew Alex Glenn was born today at 2:18 p.m. He weighed 8lbs 15 ozs which is just 2 ozs bigger than Kyle was when he was born. He has a little bit of hair I have been told. I will get to see him tommorow and I can't wait. Here is a picture of my cute nephew and another picture of my neice Fernanda holding her new brother and the last picture is of the Utes socks I bought Alex. In January I will get to welcome another nephew (Easton Jax) also will be known as EJ and I can't wait!

Old Video

I found this video of dylan on my camera, he had to have been between 1 or 2 years old. It's just a really cute video

4 wheeling with the boys

So I finally did it, I drove a 4 wheeler and it was alot of fun!

Dylan Starts Preschool

Dylan started preschool today. my husband (the great husband he is) is taking him to school and then I am picking him up. Here is a picture of dylan in front of his school with his backpack on. my husband said that he did not cry and went and sat down like a good boy. From the picture my husband took, he looks pretty happy. I can't wait to pick him up and see how he did.

Dylan Singing

So Dylan has this new thing, he sings to the songs on the radio. It is the cutest thing ever! Here is a short clip of him singing.

4 wheeling fun

The Boys Get Horse Riding Lessons

so the boys are lucky enough to have a grandma that has horses and that is willing to give them riding lessons. Their first of many was today and Kyle was a natural and Tyler did very good. Tyler's first experience was not a good one, the horse happened to buck him off and so he was a little nervous but he still wanted to try (we put him right back on the horse after it bucked him off, that is what the experts say to do so that the person doesn't get terrified of horses) but regardless of being nervous he listened very well and did great. I also was brave enough to get on the horse and I have to tell you, I was nervous but after I relaxed a little it was alot of fun.
